When night fell, the lights in Chang'an City were brilliant and bright.

Above the rows of markets, fiery red lanterns hang high, gathering into a sea of light, illuminating the night of Chang'an City as if it were day.

The rich and prosperous Chang'an City, known as the "Chang'an that never sleeps", is where business travelers from all over the world converge.

It is the most brilliant pearl of many civilizations on the mainland, a city of institutions built by relying on the pinnacle of mechanism, and a prosperous capital where all nations come to the dynasty.

Vientiane Tiangong makes the fang group move and reorganize slowly like a metabolism, constantly forming a new structure, and at the same time arranging the abandoned fang market under Chang'an City, and the entire Chang'an City is like a huge life form.

Huaiyuan Fang, a fang market dedicated to the half-blood demons in Chang'an City, where their customs were preserved.

There are often underground martial arts competitions in Huaiyuanfang, where the martial arts are prevalent, and the mixed characteristics of fish and dragons also make the nearby living square group lively at the same time, because of the frequent public security incidents and attract the attention of Dali Temple and Honglu Temple.

At this time, in the shadow of the corner of an inn not far from Huaiyuanfang, Pei Baohu yawned boredly.

He glanced at the courtyard of the deep mansion diagonally opposite, but the gate was always closed.

Pei Baohu scratched his head a little irritably: "Yi Xing said every day that I acted recklessly, and what else did I say, I had to plan and then act...... I've been staring at it for several days, and I haven't seen any suspicious characters at all. ”

"At that time, I should have followed what I said, and directly found an opportunity to break into the door and find out the mechanic......

Pei Baohu was muttering quietly, when he suddenly shrugged his hairs, and felt as if he was being stared at.

He turned his head to look and saw several people in Yu Heng's official uniform walking towards him.

The leader is Yu Heng Si Cheng Sikong Zhen's right-hand man, Li Lin!

Li Lin had a smile on his face, and there seemed to be a sense of banter: "This righteous man has met again." ”

"We've been watching you for a few days, Brother Pei, you've been moving around for the past few days, and this area happens to be a possible hiding place for the key criminals we are tracking......"

"You don't think it's a coincidence, it's a righteous act, right?"

The other Yu Heng Division catchers also came closer one after another, their faces not good.

Pei Baohu couldn't help but get nervous and felt that the situation was not good.

The reason why Li Lin said this is because a few days ago, he had already had a relationship with Pei Baohu!

Yu Heng Si Cheng Sikong Zhen was deeply trusted by the empress and had a decisive power and status in the entire Chang'an City. Yu Heng Si is one of the three divisions, and unlike Dali Temple and Honglu Temple, Yu Heng Si is in charge of the organs in Chang'an City, and all cases related to the organs will be subject to their jurisdiction.

A few days ago, Yaotian's team was ordered by Ming Shiyin to obtain a special core from a mysterious machine master that could turn the machine man into combat mode, and as a result, Yu Heng Si also happened to be eyeing this mysterious machine master.

Yaotian's team originally wanted to fish in troubled waters, and took advantage of Yu Hengsi's pursuit of the trap division, but they didn't expect it to be self-defeating because of Pei Baohu's reckless actions, not only did the mechanic run away, but he was also entangled by Yu Hengsi's people.

Fortunately, Gongsun Li deceived Li Lin with his harmless image of humans and animals and superb acting skills, and shaped Pei Baohu into the image of a righteous and courageous righteous man, so he successfully escaped.

But obviously, Li Lin can climb to a high position in Yu Hengsi, and he is definitely not a stupid person.

He did not eliminate his suspicion of Pei Baohu because of this, but secretly sent someone to investigate.

According to Yi Xing's speculation, it is very likely that the mysterious mechanic is lurking in this area, especially in this deep mansion compound full of half-blood demon species, mixed fish and dragons, and the suspicion is the greatest, so Pei Baohu came to keep an eye on it.

Obviously, Yu Hengsi's side also grasped this situation, but he didn't have such a precise location like Yi Xing, so he only arranged manpower to investigate in a large area nearby.

I never thought that I would run into Pei Baohu again.

In Li Lin's opinion, Pei Baohu has been involved with this mysterious mechanism master twice, which is obviously very suspicious!

Seeing that the people who were watching Yu Hengsi came up one after another, Pei Baohu was a little panicked.

He is not afraid of these people, even if Li Lin and Yu Hengsi's catchers shoot together, he is sure to escape.

But the key is that if you fight with Yu Hengsi's people, wouldn't you not be self-defeating?

At that time, Yu Hengsi will definitely send more manpower to search the nearby area upside down, and it will be difficult for Pei Baohu and Yaotian's team to continue to complete the task.

Seeing that the whole plan was about to fail because of his own carelessness, Pei Baohu inadvertently raised his eyes and saw the plaque of this restaurant, and said in a hurry: "Master Li, that ...... I've been inspecting the neighborhood for the past few days! ”

"It's not a secret, I've saved a little bit of savings in boxing in the past few years, so I want to buy an industry near Huaiyuanfang and live a down-to-earth life!"

Li Lin frowned slightly: "Oh? ”

He looked Pei Baohu up and down, his eyes were full of disbelief, as if to say, people like you can also "live a down-to-earth life"?

Although Pei Baohu was also very weak-hearted, he couldn't change his words anymore, so he could only stiffen his neck and say: "Why, now Her Majesty the Empress is ruling in peace, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, I am tired of the life of boxing, I want to live a good life, have I violated any laws?" ”

Several Yu Heng Division's catchers looked at each other.

They originally thought that if they followed Li Lin up to scare this boxer, he would most likely run away, and then they could logically arrest him and interrogate him slowly.

But he didn't expect that he was going to buy an industry in this neighborhood?

After all, the rule of law is still emphasized in Chang'an City, and arresting people indiscriminately without evidence will not be able to do it after all, and it is easy for Lord Sikong to leave a handle with his political enemies.

Li Lin was silent for a moment and said, "In that case, what kind of property do you want to buy?" ”

Pei Baohu's mind turned around, and he said casually: "Inn! ”

Obviously, Li Lin was suspicious by nature and didn't believe what he said at all.

If Pei Baohu said that there are industries such as Kaibu Village, Tea House, Rice Shop, Silk Shop, and Iron Shop, Li Lin will definitely continue to ask for details, and he may not be able to answer them at that time.

Because according to what Pei Baohu said, if he is really thinking about buying industries, he must have a more in-depth study of these industries, and there can be no situation where he doesn't know anything.

Moreover, industries such as rice shops, silk shops, and iron shops have thresholds, and they must be supervised and qualified in advance.

Only inns and restaurants, Pei Baohu goes most often and is most familiar with the situation.

Li Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, although he still didn't believe what Pei Baohu said, but he couldn't find more flaws.

The two sides were briefly at a stalemate.

At this moment, a surprised voice said, "This brother, do you want to sell the inn?" ”

Everyone turned their heads one after another, only to see a thin old man holding a big lock in his hand, looking at Pei Baohu with bright eyes.

Pei Baohu was stunned for a moment: "What, what does it have to do with you?" Can't I Pan Inn? ”

The old man was overjoyed: "Of course you can!" That's great! ”

"To tell you the truth, I'm the owner of this inn, and I'm trying to sell this inn recently, little brother, if you want it, the price is negotiable!"

Pei Baohu was stunned for a moment, looking confused.

Immediately, he realized that something was wrong.

Originally, I just said it casually, I just wanted to deceive Li Lin, but I didn't expect to meet the inn!

He has been squatting for the past few days, and he has noticed that compared with the nearby Huaiyuanfang, the flow of people in this area is obviously less, and all of them have been cut off by another nearby restaurant, Taiping Restaurant.

Therefore, this Anye Inn has always been deserted, and there are few guests at all.

It's no wonder that the owner of the inn wants to transfer the inn, and such an inn can't make money, isn't it a purely loss-making deal to keep it in his hands?

Pei Baohu just wanted to refuse, but saw Li Lin looking at him meaningfully.

It's broken, and you can't just say no.

Because Pei Baohu said that he was inspecting the nearby industry, so since the innkeeper took the initiative to transfer it, he must ask the price to meet his own personality!

It's like a person who goes to buy something, whether he buys it or not, at least he has to ask the price and understand the situation.

If you refuse directly without asking, it means that the mind is definitely not on buying something.

I'm witty!

Pei Baohu secretly boasted about himself, and asked pretendedly: "How much?" ”

The boss smiled all over his face: "As long as ten." ”

"Ten times?!" Pei Baohu was taken aback, obviously surprised by this number.

Chang'an City is rich in materials, one Tongbao can buy two Hu cakes, and a thousand Tongbao is consistent.

Pei Baohu is boxing in the underground black market, and if he wins a game, he can win two or three hundred Tongbao, and ten yuan is like asking for his life.

Pei Baohu immediately shook his head: "No, no, it's too expensive!" ”

He saw that Li Lin was staring at him, and hurriedly added: "Your inn is deserted, there are not many customers at all, and it is purely a loss-making transaction to stay in your hands, and you must have wanted to sell it out for a long time, but you have not been able to sell it." ”

"You still want to be ten times, I'm afraid you won't be wronged!"

"I'm going to investigate the neighborhood again, goodbye."

Pei Baohu wanted to slip away as he spoke.

However, the innkeeper grabbed him: "Hey, don't go, little brother, the price is negotiable!" ”

"Why don't you lower it, Jiuguan? How about Jiuguan! ”

The corners of Pei Baohu's mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself, why is this boss still stalking?

But the key is that he can't just leave, Li Lin is still staring here!

"The tables, chairs and benches in your inn are very old, and this plaque must be replaced with a new one, and I will definitely have to renovate it if I put it down......"

The innkeeper immediately changed his words: "Seven runs, seven runs!" ”

Pei Baohu was dumbfounded, speechless and choked for a while.

I'm not haggling with you!

Why can't this old man understand human speech? Don't have a bit of eyesight?

I just don't want to buy it!

If Li Lin hadn't been staring here, Pei Baohu would have thrown off the shopkeeper and ran away, but the shopkeeper had reduced the price so much, but he was not moved at all, which didn't make sense.

Pei Baohu had no choice but to continue to find faults: "The business here has long been cut off by the Taiping Restaurant, even if you change the business, it's useless, you better find someone else, I really don't like this place." ”

The innkeeper didn't give up: "But you can't take down the Taiping Restaurant at all?" ”

"Little brother, listen to my advice, if you really want to buy an inn, I am the lowest price, there is no better deal!"

"In this way, little brother, I see that you and I are in love, it's better to be like this, Wuguan!"

"To tell you the truth, my old bones are really tossed and can't move, so I want to get this inn out of it as soon as possible and go home to care for the elderly, but I don't want to trust anyone. I see that you are strong and strong, and you really want to run it seriously, so I trust this inn to you with confidence......"

The corners of Pei Baohu's mouth twitched slightly, and his face was a little tense.

Five-run? Boss, you're really willing!

Looking at Li Lin again, he was still watching with interest, observing Pei Baohu's expression like watching a play.

Pei Baohu knew very well that if he showed some abnormalities, it was estimated that he would be recognized by Li Lin immediately.

You can buy an inn for five dollars, which is already an incredibly low price, if Pei Baohu is not tempted, it is completely inconsistent with the character he disguised in front of Li Lin, "I want to run an inn well and at the same time I am not very rich".

Even Pei Baohu was embarrassed to bargain further, and if he cut this price any more, he seemed a little frustrated.

Fortunately, Pei Baohu was not in trouble, and after knowing that it was impossible to cut this price any further, he thought of another excuse.

"But I can't take the five money with me, so boss, when I change the one day to Tongbao, I must come to the door to take the store down, what do you think?"

The so-called convenient exchange, also known as flying money, is a special ticket.

The money has always been a thousand Tongbao, and the five-run money weighs thirty or forty catties, and it is impossible for ordinary people to carry it on their bodies.

Pei Baohu thought, anyway, he didn't have so much money on him, so he hurried up and found an excuse to slip away.

Now that he has been targeted by Yu Hengsi, he can only change his grandson to keep an eye next time, as long as he can escape this time, then everything is easy to say.

The innkeeper had no choice but to nod, because Pei Baohu didn't seem to have so many Tongbao on him: "Okay, then little brother, you must come early next time." ”

Pei Baohu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally passed the test safely.

However, as soon as he wanted to say hello to Li Lin and leave, he heard Li Lin say leisurely: "Wuguan money is not a small amount, what if you lose it on the road?" In my opinion, it just so happens that my brother Yu Hengsi has nothing to do, so I can accompany you to pick it up. ”

Pei Baohu froze on the spot.

This Li Lin is really wilted and wilted!

Obviously, Li Lin was sure that he had a problem, and thought that it was impossible for him to take down this inn, so he pressed step by step!

Pei Baohu hurriedly said solemnly: "Master Li, this is not necessary! The adults of Yu Hengsi still have important cases on them, not to mention that this little matter does not involve organs, and it does not fall under the jurisdiction of Yu Hengsi......"

Li Lin shook his head: "As one of the three divisions, Yu Hengsi serves Her Majesty the Empress and the Great Sikong, and it is also our duty to seek the well-being of the people of Chang'an. If you haven't met it, it's just that, how can you stand by and watch when you do? ”

"You two, accompany this Pei brother to exchange for Tongbao, and the five guan money must be escorted back safely and steadily, and not a penny is missing!"

The two catchers immediately received the order: "Yes, my lord!" ”

Pei Baohu: "......"

He silently clenched his fists, gave the innkeeper a fierce look, and then followed the two catchers and left.

There is an exchange agency nearby, and not long after, the two catchers "escorted" Pei Baohu and Wuguan Qian back.

It is said to be an escort, but in fact it is escort and surveillance.

Pei Baohu didn't think about running away directly, but he also knew that once he ran away, he would definitely mobilize Yu Hengsi's manpower to closely monitor this area.

Compared with Yu Hengsi, Yaotian's team is an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and it will be difficult to complete the task when the time comes.

Therefore, he had to grit his teeth and take out most of the income from boxing in the underground black market in recent years, a full five times.

He still wanted to talk about it again, but he didn't expect the innkeeper to take out the title deed: "Wow, little brother, I can see that you are a refreshing person!" ”

"It just so happens that Lord Yu Hengsi is here today to give us a testimony. This is the title deed, we pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. ”

The innkeeper said, and stretched out his hand to the money in Pei Baohu's hand, but he tugged at it and didn't move.

Pei Baohu looked reluctant.

Li Lin smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Pei is worried that the old man is old and frail, and he can't take so much money. The two of you, take the money for the old man and escort him home. ”

"Yes!" The two Yu Heng Division's catchers stepped forward together, snatched the five yuan from Pei Baohu's hand, and then escorted the innkeeper away.

Looking at the back of the innkeeper leaving, and then looking at the title deed in his hand, Pei Baohu was simply sad.

Five!

That's the continuation of so many years of hard work and boxing, so I bought such a money-losing broken inn!

Loss, loss!

Li Lin patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Pei, if you can buy an inn at such a cost-effective price, you can be regarded as getting what you want." ”

"I hope you can do a good job, and I will come to the inn in two days to sit down and taste your craftsmanship."

After that, Li Lin took the rest of the catchers and left.

Pei Baohu was simply angry.

Threat, this is a naked threat!

Obviously, Li Lin's suspicions about him have not been completely eliminated, and he needs to see that he really runs this inn seriously to rest assured.

If Pei Baohu wanted to transfer this inn to someone else, or simply ran away, it would also arouse Li Lin's suspicions, and most of the missions this time would still fail.

"I'm on shift!"

"Well, did that mysterious mechanic show up?"

Pei Baohu turned around and saw that Gongsun Li, who was holding an oil-paper umbrella, was walking lightly and jumping to his side.

Yaotian's team took turns to keep an eye on it, obviously it was Gongsun's turn to leave.

This girl with rabbit ears always has a gentle smile on her face and can pass on happiness to those around her.

However, now, no amount of happiness can soothe Pei Baohu's wounded heart.

Gongsun Li noticed the frustration on Pei Baohu's face, and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

Pei Baohu spread his hands and handed over the title deed: "Ah Li, there is something I don't know how to tell you." ”

"I ...... I ordered an inn......"
